Security, that's a major use of vpns.
Edit: I should of pointed out that I meant limited use for security reasons, like accessing your bank account in public areas, its not much but it can help to protect you from MitM attacks at the very least.
So what are you gaining using a VPN to access your bank? Your bank website is https so it's already encrypted. VPN's are vastly misrepresented in their commercials.
Okay but why not set up a separate/dedicated route for that traffic?
Not that I disapprove of what/how you’re doing, curious because it’s what I do. I’d assume you’ve got a VM or node other than your workstation hosting your torrent client, otherwise this method doesn’t make sense.
